Where's All The Oil?

[Opie15]

I live in South Carolina and usually use Rotella T6 in my truck.

The problem is I'm due for a change and I can't find it anywhere!

Don't really want to change brands but I may have to.

Any recommendations?

Same problem in Arkansas too.

I just picked up 6 gallons of Valvoline premium blue due to not finding Rotella in my town.

I have never used this oil before; I always have used Rotella.

Local WM - has litrially 2 gallons of Delo 15W-40 on their shelf as of yesterday!
Shelves are totally empty of all other HDEO.
Autozone / Napa / O'Reillys - are stupid ridiculous on their 1 gal HDEO prices - jugs all have 1/8" of dust on all the tops

EDIT: I feel if I lived in the Metro - the HDEO selections would be alot better (More on the shelves)
I live in a decently sized small town - so there is a extremely small selection & usually out of stock or stocked @ 2X the normal price & still today - these local folks are complaining and bitching @ the Hard Working Fine Folks who quit buying locally!

I agree with the Shell Rotella T6 or T5 as well as Valvoline & Mobil Delvac - has not been seen @ our local WM for months. (All the HDEO space has just vanished and filled with other items) - not oil related.
Possibly a Distribution or Trucking issue - I feel this issue is going to get worse as time moves on.
Truthfully - there are ALOT of empty shelves (in every department throughout the store) at our local WM.

Hence: Amazon & WM on line store has become my go to - I have started hording gal HDEO & Oil/Fuel & Air filters in my garage closet.
Mobil 1 Delvac 5W-40 & 75W-90 --> WM online & Amazon

If Mobil Delvac becomes unavailable I will not hesitate to run -->TRIAX Supreme ESP 5W-40 & 15W-40 & SGM 75W-90 & Global ATF ---> TRIAX Ebay Store.
All my filters (Air-Fuel-Oil-PCV) come from 2 Jobbers (Online)

I do work hard & research sellers whom don't require me to spend alot more just to qualify for so called FREE Shipping! (Just to benefit Them)
My old age - has got me thinking of Myself first - before padding others pockets first & thinking I got a great deal!

There are empty shelves everywhere here (WI), and Amazon is a bust right now.

Give Hotshot's Secret a try.

Lots of good reviews on this stuff.

Just ordered some Blue Diamond 5W40 for mine earlier today.

There’s been no Rotella T6 here in NM either, but I just received my 4 gallons of Blue Dimond.

I’ve been pleased with all of the other Hot Shot Secrets products I’ve been using for years.

I am looking forward to sharing my oil thoughts as soon as I change my oil before towing my 5th wheel.

I run Rotella 15W40 T4, and I found some gallon jugs at advance auto parts for my last oil change.

You can also, on occasion, find it at Meijer, Sams Club, and Rural King.

Sometimes can grab it in 5-gallon buckets or 50-gallon drums from local big oil suppliers and transfer it over to gallon jugs for easier pouring.

Looks like I may have to give it a try.

Thought about switching to rotella t4. just don't like changing it from one to another (especially from synthetic to conventional).

I've used some of there other products in the past though and was really happy with them.

I purchased Hot Shots Black Diamond 15W40.

Has the highest zinc content for protection of metal surfaces but it’s only recommended for “non emissions” engines.

That's the one they say you can get like 30,000 miles out of right?
